This woman is a hero.

Yes!

Absolutely heroic

Roz Adams is a hero for all women. Her bravery is inspiring. BRAVO ROZ!

Personally I think you're the hero @MumtananoBay for posting the link without a paywall 😂😎

Absolute hero. If you’re reading this, Ms Adams, thank you. Thank you so much.

Yes! Reasonable for sure. Also, she is a decent woman. If the amount exceeds any financial impacts this has had for her I wouldn't be at all surprised if she donated some of it to good causes -- even including appropriate rape crisis support for trans-identified males.
Not that she should feel under any pressure to, of course. It just strikes me that she is the kind of conscientious person who might consider that.

I am very happy every time I see this vile ideology cracking. Thanks for posting.

She's brilliant. I'm so happy for her. But what an absolute nightmare all these brave people have to go through.

the judgement is incredibly clear as well

In his remedy ruling, Ian McFatridge, the judge, ordered the centre to publish a statement and to refer survivors of sexual assault to <a class="break-all" href="https://archive.ph/o/tPpqo/www.thetimes.com/uk/scotland/article/boys-think-strangling-women-is-sexy-charities-warn-h05xdr8gh" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Beira’s Place, the women’s refuge established by the author JK Rowling as an alternative source of support for female victims of sexual violence.
The ERCC has been ordered to apologise publicly to Adams for alleging that she was transphobic and acknowledge that there was no evidence to support the allegation and that its disciplinary action against her was wrong.

She deserves every penny after the witch hunt they conducted.
Thank you for being so brave Roz 💐

This has made my day :)

This is excellent news, especially this bit

Given such well deserved egg on faces, surely Sandy Brindley must get the heave ho now? Although she'll probably be allowed to skulk away quietly.

Single sex services only exist when there is a good enough reason. Trans activists should have set up their own dedicated services instead of making women's services mixed sex.

She deserves more, so in that way it's not reasonable. By the time you factor in taxes, pension contribution, registration and cpd fees, any hit to her practice, etc., it's a year's wage. That's not enough.

Excellent news, thank you for posting that.

Oh, wow, that is great. Especially the public apology for the false allegation of transphobia, which I am sure will mean a lot.
How can an employment tribunal order ERCC to refer people to Beira's Place? I mean, it is wonderful if they have made this order; I just wonder on what basis their remit would extend to that?

I think, though I haven't followed this closely, that they were previously refusing to refer women to Beira's Place (if they wanted single sex help), preferring to pretend that it was unreasonable to want a single sex facility.

Thanks, @DodoPatrol , yes, they were indeed refusing, which was profoundly unethical. I just wondered how an employment tribunal was able to give them a direction in that respect.

Probably more 'stop pretending there are no single sex options when women ask' rather than 'you must always suggest it'?

Yes. Her career suffered because of their lunacy.

She is rather amazing. And Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre management and SRC need to hang their heads. Particularly Sandy Brindley who is still there.

At least Wadhwa is no longer CEO of ERCC and Roz is still out there helping women and girls now.

Interesting. What's a 'good enough reason' please? Surely preference, safety and dignity are enough-or have I misunderstood your post?
Dammit-misread your post, sorry and please ignore.

But this is not what many TRAs want -- they actively want to use womens' facilities of all kinds, because it is all about 'validation'.
They are women and everyone must accept their wants without question.

TheInebriati is correct though. People who feel unable to use male rape crisis should seek to set up specialised support.

Yes, absolutely. I edited to say I'd misread. Really sorry.
